Syracuse Elementary

Summary:

Syracuse Elementary is a public elementary school in Syracuse, Kansas, serving 316 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Syracuse District, which is ranked 176 out of 266 districts in the state and has a 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Syracuse Elementary's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in state assessments, is generally below the Kansas average across all grades and subjects, the school has some relative strengths. Hispanic and White students at the school perform better than the overall student population, and English Language Learner (ELL) students and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds perform relatively better at Syracuse Elementary compared to their peers statewide. However, the school's overall proficiency rates in English Language Arts (30.81%) and Mathematics (27.1%) are lower than the state averages of 33.55% and 31.6%, respectively.

The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at Syracuse Elementary (over 69%) suggests the school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged community, which may contribute to its academic challenges. Despite these challenges, the school has maintained a 2-star rating, indicating there may be opportunities for improvement. By closely analyzing the school's strengths, weaknesses, and the unique needs of its student population, the school and district can develop a comprehensive plan to enhance academic outcomes and provide a more equitable education for all students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
